While in a room with a patient, the medical assistant interrupted me and asked me to come out of the room. I found this very odd. She said a patient needed to see me in the waiting room. I asked who it might be and then went out to see what he needed. He was there to thank me with this amazing bouquet of flowers that he arranged himself. I could hardly believe it. I had never been a recipient of such a magnificent gift. I felt very undeserving. And to think that I almost didn't go to work. That morning after driving 30 minutes down the road, Ryan called and asked if I had his keys. I did. I had to turn around and drive 30 minutes back to give them to him. I called and told work I would be an hour late. It ended taking me 2 hours and 20 minutes to get to work that day. I hardly thought that it would be worth it. After this gift, I was so grateful to have this job and so glad I made the extra effort to come.
